Seckou Keita retunes West African traditional music, and Rowena Wise & Didirri's couples therapy through song
Senegalese kora master Seckou Keita's relationship with the West African string instrument is delicate, thoughtful, and expansive. Through developing his own tunings, and taking his music further than the traditions of Casamance, the region of southern Senegal he's from, he's connected his instrument with jazz, classical, and other African musical traditions. He's in Australia playing a series of concerts and drops into the Music Show studio to perform live.
Rowena Wise and Didirri are both successful Australian indie artists in their own right. Their personal and creative partnership has led to a couple of singles, as well as a tender duo reinterpretation of their own solo works. They're on the road doing a series of gigs in churches and offer up a couple of beautiful live performances in the studio with Andy.
Plus we hear new music from Paul Grabowsky and Mindy Meng Wang, and mark Sir Charles Mackerras' centenary.
